Obama Reportedly Cancels Visit to Indian Temple Over Headscarf Concerns
Published October 20, 2010 | FoxNews.com
President Obama has canceled a visit to India's famed Golden Temple following concerns that he would have to wear a headscarf that could make him look Muslim, according to several Indian news outlets.
Though the Golden Temple is a Sikh temple -- and Sikhs are not Muslims -- the Indian Express first reported that the visit was thrown into doubt following an impasse between Obama's aides and temple authorities.
The president would have been expected to wear some kind of head cover, but the White House team ruled out a traditional headscarf. When Obama's team proposed the U.S. president wear a "modified" baseball cap, temple officials said a baseball cap would not be permitted, according to the Indian Express.

They got it wrong. His hindu scarf would be blasphemous to his Black Liberation/Nation of Islam/Muzzie beliefs.
So that’s it? Obama was afraid the image of him in an exotic headgear would go viral and serve as fodder for the like of us?
This is the competent staff we have running the White House right now? These people really don’t have a clue.
Pretty much everything he does makes him look muslim.
Obama carries a pix of Arafat in his wallet.
It's the islamists you have to be careful of.
What about "Go USA" or "Nuke Iran?"
Who is next on this guy’s insult list???
I’m Catholic, and would wear the scarf.
What about a cap that says, "Go USA" or "Nuke Iran?"
Rofl.
Oh wait.
No sarc tag?
Obama carries a pix of Arafat in his wallet.
And probably tucks it in his panties at bed time.
BS, he doesn’t want to offend the Pakistanis.
His wife didn’t accompany him to the Middle East because his wife didn’t want to wrap her head up in scarves the way Hillary and Pelosi had to.
Recall she joined him AFTERWARDS in Europe.
What? Was she “too busy” to go to Egypt et al?
Yeah right.
He cancelled it because Muslims hate Sikhs.
great point....
Any bets he gets the Indian PM Omaha Steaks?
He would then be some mooselimbs beeeeeatch...put on that burka boooooiiieee...
This is just begging for Photoshop, and I don't have the time. Dang.
